The Last Supper has puzzled the world with its hidden symbols. Here are a few to look for.

The person besides Jesus Christ looks neither male nor female. They lack typical masculine features like baldness or a beard, giving a more feminine impression. Some think Leonardo da Vinci might have meant for this figure to be Mary Magdalene instead of John.

In the painting, Judas Iscariot, standing on the right side, accidentally spills salt from a container with his elbow. This depicts the moment Jesus announces that one of his disciples will betray him.

Matthew's anger is palpable, and his tense stance reveals his frustration. Andrew appears shocked, hands raised in disbelief, struggling to grasp the weight of the moment. Jesus, however, exudes calmness, a beacon of serenity amidst the turmoil. Meanwhile, James Major and Philip are gripped by fear, their expressions mirroring their confusion and apprehension.

Da Vinci used numbers like 3 and 4 a lot. The apostles are grouped in threes, and there are four sets of tapestries with three spaces between them. Three symbolizes divinity, while four represents the earthly realm. This reflects da Vinci's ideas about God and our connection to the divine.

There's uncertainty about the fish in The Last Supper — some argue it's an eel, others say it's a herring. Some think da Vinci did this on purpose. It's curious because in Italian, 'eel' sounds like 'indoctrination' and 'herring' sounds like 'someone who denies religion,' especially in northern Italy.

Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper in the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
The church came into being when the Duke of Milan, Francesco I Sforza, ordered the construction of a convent and church on the site of an old chapel dedicated to Mary. Later, his son Ludovico Sforza asked Leonardo da Vinci to paint The Last Supper as part of renovating the convent. Despite facing challenges like World War II, both the painting and the church survived. And because of the legacy of The Last Supper and its involvement in the painting's intense history, the church became a place of great significance and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1980.
